I know a lad who played against Stewart when he was at Kilwinning, says he's really tall but very good touch and technically sound......similar to Peter Crouch was how he described him and wasn't surprised to see him jump to full-time football.

I thought you were going to explain...........silly me!!

I'm not having a go at him in any way, shape or form, I like him as a player. In the last 4 seasons he has made only 50 appearances mostly down to injury problems.

I'm not suggesting anything else but he does spend massive amounts of time unavailable for selection.

I agree with that Ayrshire Saints.......that said i'd still take Newton back but see him more as a replacement for Quinn and would give us good options to playing different tactics across the midfield.

In fairness to Drew, he admitted his mistake pretty quickly...........novel idea I know!!

Thank God we're not relying on "your view" then and JR changed it all when he did.

Or alternatively he is saying that he never wants to have a squad lacking as much balance, skill and heart under his command again.............the situation that he inherited.

Tickets now gone....

Was out in Edinburgh last night and not on BAWA, tickets still available

No worries

Quite happy to, just don't like the idea of me having extra tickets and somebody else not able to get one

That would be "soared" I'd guess but get your drift

Nope, why the f**k would I do that, what an odd way of thinking.........was more considering the logistics of handing the tickets over due to time constraints

Guys and Gals Due to a mix-up with arrangements I have ended up with 5 adult tickets for this Saturday when I actually only require 3. If anyone is looking for 2 tickets let me know and we'll try and get something sorted.

I think we'll win too but in McManus, Hardie, Barr and Johnston Raith can break at pace (see first game of season at Starks Park and last years defeat there too for reference). Attack for certain but needs discipline or we'll leave ourselves very open at the back

We're scoring plenty, just keep the back door locked

I agree with Morgan being half fit on Saturday although should be a week fitter this week. We've scored two goals in each of our last two games and managed one draw.........I think to concentrate a wee bit on our defensive side would be prudent.

I wouldn't play him at full back...........I love his directness and his desire to drive the game forward but he worries me defensively. If he plays left-back he has Morgan ahead of him, a direct and forward thinking player and I think that would leave us exposed.

Even more-so when you consider that both posters, I believe, are members of the same committee.

The other view may be that others are "profiting" from the terrorist threat, the previous "drop-off" was created after the attack on Glasgow Airport as part of the "security" measures.

I'd agree that it's healthy and correct for the club to propose ideas and for the SMiSA committee to listen to and discuss the ideas, it is then for the committee to decide whether these ideas should go in front of "their" membership. If the committee are doing nothing other than "taking instruction" from the club then they are not operating in an "independent" manner and that is something that would need fixing. If, however, ideas are put in front of the committee and the committee, further to debate and discussion, decide in a democratic manner to put them to "their" membership then that is right and proper. Only those that are on the committee will truly know if this is the case. If it is the case I would find it pretty unpalatable that "committee members" were then washing their dirty laundry in public because they weren't getting their own way.....time will tell I suppose.

And as if by magic............................

And the OP quite directly mentions and references the "SMiSA" membership in his opening post. Until I hear something substantial that would give me due concern I would suggest "General Nonsense", "Rumour-Mill" or "Speculation" but heigh-ho I don't mind too much as i'll read it whichever section it is in.

Whether they would react the same way or not is irrelevant Kendo, it is in contravention of the rules and it is what provoked the chaos. McGregor will also be done as what he did was also against the rules, whether he makes contact is again irrelevant, he lead with his head. I agree we need to stamp out simulation but again it has no relevance to the rights and wrongs of this situation in light of current rules. The Morton thug will rightly be banned and with any luck will get extra games for his simulation (don't hold your breath though!!)
